The Samsung Intensity's built-in 1.3 megapixel camera allows you to upload the photos you store on the phone's memory card to your PC. By taking advantage of the phone's mass storage capabilities, you can avoid purchasing software to upload the pictures. The original picture remains on the Intensity, while a copy becomes stored on your PC.

Step 1

Connect your Samsung Intensity to your PC with a USB cable. A cable comes with the phone.

Click "USB Mass Storage" and enable the feature. Your PC will recognize the phone and display management options for the phone.

Step 4

Click "Start" on your PC, then click "Computer."

Step 5

Double-click the Intensity's icon under "Removable Devices" and open the "Pictures" folder. The pictures currently saved to the phone's memory card will display.

Step 6

Open a computer folder to store the uploaded pictures.

Step 7

Drag a picture from the Intensity's folder to the computer folder. Release the picture in the folder to upload it to the computer. A dialog window will appear to show the progress of the upload. Continue to drag and release the pictures until all of the pictures are uploaded. Disconnect the phone from the computer when finished.
